Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations?
x+y=3
4x-y=7
O Multiply the first equation by 4.
Add the first equation to the second equation.
Multiply the second equation by -1.
Subtract the second equation from the first equation.

Answers

Answer 1

The best first step to solve equations, x+y = 3 and 4x-y = 7, is to add the first equation to the second equation.

According to the question,

We have the following system of equations:

x+y = 3 .....(1)

4x-y = 7 ....(2)

Now, these equations can be easily solved by adding the first equation to the second equation because we will only then have one variable which is x and y when added to -y will result in zero.

We can solve these equations by adding as follows:

x-y+4x+y = 3+7

5x = 10

x = 10/5

x = 2

Now, we can put the value of x in equation 1 to find the value of y:

2+y = 3

y = 3-2

y = 1

Hence, the correct option is B.

find the Cartesian coordinate of the point where polar coordinates are [5√2, π/4 ]​

Answers

The Cartesian coordinate of the point where polar coordinates are [5√2, π/4 ]​ is  ( 5/√2, -5/√2)

The polar cordinates given are (r,θ)=(5,− π/4)

And we need to find the cartesian coordinates

We have,

x=rcosθ, y=rsinθ

x=5cos(− π/4) ,y=5sin(− π/4)

x= 5/√2 ,y=− 5/√2

So, the cartesian form is ( 5/√2, -5/√2)

Choose 1 answer: 20 slices 50 slices 300 slices 320 slices ​

Answers

Answer:

20 slices

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were 11 large pizzas with 8 slices per pizza, that would mean that there are a total of 88 slices of pizza.

If there are four classrooms, that means that if each classroom had 20 slices, there would be enough for everyone with 8 pieces leftover.

The hire purchase price of a refrigerator is $6509.A deposit of $500 is made and the reminder is paid in equal monthly payments of $250. Calculate the number of monthly payments that must be made.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The hire purchase price of a refrigerator is $6509.A deposit of $500 is made and the reminder is paid in equal monthly payments of $250. Calculate the number of monthly payments that must be made.

amount paid over x months:  

$6509 - $500 = $6,009

Equal payments of $250:

$6,009 / $250 = 24.036 months of payments

[Depending on if they want the answer rounded up, answer may become 25]

Answer:

hire purchase= $6509

deposit=$500

monthly payment=$250

no of monthly payment that must be made=hire purchase - deposit divided by monthly payment

$6509-$500/$250=$6009/$250= 24.036 month

and 5:00 PM?

Answers

Answer:

  no change

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a temperature rise of 3.85 °F over 4 hours after noon, when the temperature is 85.4 °F, you want to know the change between 4 pm and 5 pm if the temperature at 5 pm is 89.25 °F.

Temperature at 4

The temperature at 4 pm is the sum of the noon temperature and the change in the 4 hours after noon:

  85.4 °F + 3.85 °F = 89.25 °F

Change after 4

The change from 4 pm to 5 pm is the difference between the 5 pm temperature and the 4 pm temperature:

  82.25 °F -89.25 °F = 0 °F

There is no change in the temperature between 4 pm and 5 pm.

Answers

An amount of $ 92,495.60 must be the initial deposit to become into $ 300,000 by compound interest.

How much money must be deposited to  obtain a given quantity for retirement?

In this problem we must determine the initial deposit that must become into $ 300,000 by compound interest after a period of 30 years. Compound interest model is a model where money gains interest continuously, whose formula is:

C' = C · (1 + r / 100)ⁿ

Where:

C - Initial deposit, in monetary units.C' - Final deposit, in monetary units. r - Interest rate, in percentage.n - Number of periods, in years.

If we know that C' = 300,000, r = 4 and n = 30, then the initial deposit is:

C = C' / (1 + r / 100)ⁿ

C = 300,000 / (1 + 4 / 100)³⁰

C = 92,495.60

The initial deposit must be $ 92,495.60.

What should be added to 5/6 to get 41/24​

Answers

Answer: 26/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to convert 5/6 with a denominator of 24 so 6 times what makes 24, that is 4 & whatever you do with the denominator, you have to do it with the numerator. So 5 times 4 is 20, the new fraction is 20/24. Now, we need to find what we need to add with 20/24 to get 41/24, so we subtract 20/24 from 41/24 & that is 21/24. We can check if it's correct by adding both 21/24 and 20/24 & that makes 41/24.

Let the number added by x
5/6 + x = 41/24
x = 41/24 - 5/6
x = 41 - ( 5 multiplied by 4) / 24
x = 41 - 20 / 24
x = 22 / 24
x = 21/3 / 24/3
Final answer x = 7/8
